How does Budapest look like through the lenses of homeless people? How can art be used as a tool to empower people affected by homelessness? And how can a calendar be the key of a successful social initiative? The MyBudapest Photo Project gives an answer to all of these questions.

As a child, it was the kind of place you were always told not to go to. Budapest's 8th district had a reputation of being dangerous, full of strange people and hosting a hotbed of crime. Obviously this means that young Hungarians took every opportunity to discover this beautiful old part of the city.

The indirect impacts of the economic
crisis have reached higher education as well. It is a general tendency to
increase tuition fees both in Europe and overseas. University research
programmes, which usually do not even contribute to the growth of GDP, are many
times stones round the necks of countries with bad economic situation.

Praise for the art of slow life gets more and more
followers, and in Budapest this is encouraged by local movements based on
international model. As usual in bottom-up communities, those interested in
slow do not have to conform to strict rules and ideologies. That is why an
apolitical, atheist young person in Budapest can start to believe in it.
